Here's a fun read. I don't know that I agree with all the choices though...
I love, Beatrice, Agatha, and Eleanor!
-
They are totally off the mark with some of these choices!
-
We considered Beatrix and Eleanor!
-
I really like some of them.
-
I think a lot of these super old-fashioned names are actually really trendy right now. Rose and Eleanor going extinct? Are they kidding? Josephine will be our next DDs middle name.
I have to say I dont agree.
-
I don't think the author had checked the charts in a while, but fun nonetheless!
-
DS would have been named Eleanor if he was a girl. We would have called her Ella.
-
@rattles: Exactly what I was thinking! I mean, do a little homework!
Anyway I think Agatha is to die for. If my husband hadn't totally vetoed it I'd have a little Agatha running around my house right now.
-
I think most of the list is correct but not all! My niece is named Josephine, and so it Mrs. Wagon's daughter! I think it's still fairly common. I also think they are pretty off-base with Eleanor.
-
@mamimami: same.....my fave author of all time is Agatha Christie...so it would have been a nod to her!
-
Fun read, but off the mark for at least 50% of the names. I didn't think the commentary was great either - I don't think of the word agony when I think of Agatha at all.
I thought Dorothy would be on the list for sure.
-
eleanor, though i doubt dh will like!
-
I feel like the author doesn't know what she's talking about!
DD's middle name is Eleanor. We're pretty sure we're one and done, but DH and I already agreed that if we had another girl she'd likely be Beatrice.
-
Definetley off the mark, I'm always interested in lists though just to see what some people think!
-
My almost 18 month old is called Eleanor!
-
Eleanor is definitely getting trendy again.....sooooo who knows
-
totally off the mark, and totally missing some puns on the obvious ones.
Like,
Gladys has left on a midnight train to Georgia.
OBVIOUSLY!
-
Beatrice, Rose, Josephine, Eleanor . . .Are they kidding?? I also love Ilene, but it could be because it's alllmost my middle name.
-
those are all pretty popular in our neighborhood. eleanor is super popular!
-
Beatrice is a top contender for our LO. I say that list is BS!
-
I know a bunch of Eleanors!
And Hello, JOSEPHINE!!
you better recognize our very own Lil Miss Wagon.
-
OK, this is a ridiculous list.
Blanche, Ethel, Josephine, Eleanor, Opal, and Beatrix/ce are ALL AWESOME NAMES that are increasing in popularity, not declining.
I agree with Barbara, Phyllis,Gladys, Ilene, and Marge, but that's about it.
I LOVE the names Ethel, Opal, and Beatrix.
-
Well I can say, most of those names aren't being used in the south for sure.
-
Beatrice is such a pretty name... Unfortunately DH hates it.
For some reason I thought Eleanor was really popular still?
-
It was taking too long to load and click through all the names but I definitely disagree as others have commented! One of LO's friends is Josephine and Eleanor was on our list of girls names! I also feel like Rose is a pretty popular middle name.
eleanor, though i doubt dh will like!
you better recognize our very own Lil Miss Wagon.
